Description
Yesterday, I received a phone call from Publishers Clearing House phone call that I won 400,000.00 to be deposited into my bank. They would bring me a brand new pick up truck, $1200.00 cash and $7000.00 a week for life. They wanted to receive a gift card for $300.00 and then when I said I did not have it, it went down to $50.00. I did not send them any money.
Today, I received a call from 786-936-1156. The caller stated that they are with BBB and investigating the sweepstakes call I had received yesterday for the PCH winnings. He said he is with BBB and that the amount was not correct and that I won 1.2 million and everything else I would get. They wanted me to send them $600.00.
I gave them my online banking number and social security number. They said that they needed it for taxes. When I figured out it was a scam I let my bank know. I have dropped the online banking. And I changed my account.
